We'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to all our patients that helped us make our first annual canned food drive a great success!  When the representative from Community Food Depot #5 picked up our non-perishables, she was shocked at how much we had.  She said, "You must have the best patients!" and to that we reply--YES WE DO!!!

Throughout your children's lifetimes - from infancy into adulthood - chiropractic care can help ensure your child's physical and emotional health. Over a century of success in helping children regain and retain their health has made chiropractic the healthcare of choice for millions of parents and their children throughout the world. 
 

Chiropractors are specially trained to locate and release blockages commonly caused by tiny misalignments of the structural system. These blockages (called subluxations) create dis-ease (disharmony) which can lead to lowered resistance to disease, organ malfunction, poor posture, pain, and physical and emotional illness. (1)
 

Chiropractors have helped babies suffering from nearly every condition imaginable: colic, vomiting, sleeping problems, tonsillitis, vision and hearing problems and many, many others. (2-4)
 

It is not unusual to hear parents state that since starting chiropractic care their children get sick less frequently, less severely, have less or no ear infections and take less (or no) antibiotics and other drugs. (5-7) Many conditions such as asthma and allergies have responded to chiropractic care as well. (8-9) 
 

In addition there are reports of chiropractic care helping children suffering from autism. Some of these children have been reevaluated and later re-diagnosed as normal after chiropractic care. (10-11)

Academic Performance

Both clinical reports and research have reported chiropractic's success with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),                                  Dr. Saylor's mom  ~Louann & Bric

lack of energy or                                                                              

"low mental stamina", anxiety and behavioral problems. (12-13) 

Improvements in coordination and athletic ability have also been noted as a result of chiropractic care. (14-18) Chiropractors are "team doctors" for athletes in all kind of sports from tennis, swimming, golf and track-and-field to football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, handball, rugby, soccer and Olympic and professional teams. Chiropractic care helps athletes function at their peak to maintain their "competitive edge." (19)
 

Chiropractors can help prevent injury by keeping your child balanced and functioning free of spine and structural stress. Chiropractic care can prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones, without the use of drugs or surgery. (20)

If your child is suffering from any of the following, it is essential to get his/her body checked for subluxations:
 

Ear infections Fever Colic Croup Hypertension Poor posture Nervousness Constipation Bed-wetting Fatigue Stomachaches Loss of hearing  Arthritis Numbness Irritability Headaches Neckaches Backaches

Sore throat Eye problems Cough Sinus problems Skin disorders Asthma Bronchitis Frequent colds Poor coordination Poor concentration Arm, hand, shoulder pain Painful joints Hip, leg, foot pain Scoliosis Vision problems Sinus conditions Allergies

Breast-feeding difficulties Skin conditions

Chiropractic care for children makes a big difference no matter what their age. Keep your children healthy, ensure their natural self-healing ability functions at its peak and help them grow into their physical and emotional potential with chiropractic.

Avoid bad fats

Bad fats are linked to heart disease, cancer, arthritis and many other chronic illnesses. If anything in your refrigerator or pantry has any of the following bad fats in the ingredients do yourself and your family a favor and dump them in the garbage:

• Hydrogenated oils
• Partially hydrogenated oils
• Cottonseed, soybean, canola and vegetable oils
• Trans-fats
• Especially avoid margarine or butter oil “spreads” or “blends”

 

Partake of good fats

Good fats promote health and healing. Good (saturated) fats include:

• Butter (especially from raw milk and grass fed cows)
• Oliver oil (virgin and cold pressed)
• Coconut oil
• Fish oil (smaller fish such as herring, sardines etc. are best)
• Avocados

 

Remember – good fats are good for you and bad fats can kill you. People that use good fats are thinner, have more energy and are healthier.

 

Are high fat diets dangerous? Even though this study did not distinguish between the kind of fat used, this study helped de-demonize fats. In it researchers studied 88,795 women over the course of 14 years, and what did they find? Not one sign that high-fat diets promote breast cancer. There was not one indication that low-fat diets were protective. (23)
